Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Country Creek home has enough sun for solar to make sense?
The reliable answer requires a LiDAR-based shade analysis — a tool that uses satellite elevation data to model shadow patterns across your specific roof surface at every hour of every day of the year. A reputable installer provides this analysis as part of a free site assessment. The output is a solar access percentage: 80%+ is excellent, 70–80% is good, 60–70% is marginal. For Country Creek homes with mature tree canopy, shade analysis often reveals that certain roof sections are viable while others are not — and that the viable sections alone may not justify the full system cost. An honest installer will tell you when the shade situation makes solar a poor investment rather than selling you anyway.
Is it worth removing trees to improve solar viability for a Country Creek home?
Tree removal for solar access is a calculation that involves the tree's value (mature live oaks provide cooling, stormwater management, and property value benefits), the removal cost ($1,500–$5,000 per large tree including stump grinding), and the solar production gain. For most Country Creek homeowners, the math doesn't favor removing healthy mature trees purely for solar access — the production improvement rarely recovers the removal cost and lost landscaping value within the solar system's payback period. The better question is whether specific smaller or less valuable trees (laurel oaks with hollow sections, slash pines near the structure) warrant removal for reasons independent of solar, and whether that removal secondarily improves solar access.
What roof condition is required before installing solar on a Country Creek home?
Installers require a roof with at least 10 years of remaining life — solar panels installed on a roof approaching end-of-life will need to be removed and reinstalled at replacement, typically adding $2,000–$5,000 to the re-roofing project. Country Creek's 1978 homes may be on their second or third roof; the condition and age of the current roof should be assessed before solar installation is scheduled. If a re-roof is needed within 5 years, coordinate the projects: the roofing contractor installs the new shingles first, and the solar crew follows immediately. Many solar contractors have roofing relationships and can facilitate combined pricing.
What solar system size is appropriate for a Country Creek home?
Country Creek's larger homes (many in the 1,800–2,400 sq ft range) with Florida air conditioning loads typically consume 1,100–1,700 kWh/month. A system sized to offset 90–100% of this consumption would be 9–14 kW DC for a well-sited home. However, Country Creek's tree canopy may reduce viable roof area, limiting system size below what full offset would require. Your installer's production estimate — based on actual roof area, orientation, tilt, and shade analysis — determines the achievable system size. Oversizing based on optimistic production estimates creates frustration when actual Duke Energy bills don't meet expectations; an accurate estimate is more valuable than an optimistic one.
How does Duke Energy's net metering program work for Country Creek solar owners?
Duke Energy's net metering program credits excess solar generation (when your system produces more than you're consuming) at the retail rate per kWh. These credits accumulate on your bill and offset consumption during evening hours and cloudy periods. On an annual basis, a properly sized system results in near-zero net Duke Energy billing — Florida's sunny winters and shoulder seasons often generate surpluses that offset summer peak demand. At year-end, any remaining credit is settled at an avoided-cost rate (lower than retail). Sizing your system to consume most of its production rather than generating large annual surpluses maximizes the value of net metering.
